Ok, this is a fanservice anime, there's no secret about that. It may not be as explicit as something like Girls Bravo (which I guiltily admit I liked), but given the premise and the overwhelming moe, it's clear what this is. I'm reserving judgement at this stage, since the fact that it's not aiming for great heights it could never achieve could save it (like Nagasarete was saved), but there's already virtually no chance this is going to have anything resembling a well-written story. In fact, the whole concept of the succubus has already killed any chance of there being relationship development, since they can only go so far (unless a magical deus ex machina down the track either cures the moeblob of her succubus-ness or something similarly stupid like that). Actually, that whole component of the premise reminds me a bit of Okusama wa Mahou Shoujo, where they somehow became married despite the fact that they weren't allowed to kiss. That sort of thing raises some interesting themes to explore, like how do you have a romantic relationship when the physical part of it is forbidden? Although, now that this has resigned itself to being a fanservice anime, I kind of hope it doesn't go down that path, since I don't this has the poise to be able to pull that sort of thing off properly.

My guess is that this could be anything between mildly entertaining and totally stupid. I don't think it'll be much more than that, though.

Yeah, but if I don't watch, how can I complain about it?

First, there is PLENTY room for development. As I said before, it seems like many anime characters, and viewers, seem to think there's no relationship if there's no chance of going some distance, and I admire a character that would assert that much of that distance should be reserved until the relationship has reached such a level that both are committed to never having someone else. Some of the best marriages I've seen occurred between people who didn't even kiss until they'd said "I do". Besides, the entire point of their relationship is teaching the girl to control her power so she can have a normal relationship by keeping her around the one normal man who CAN touch her.
Also, I don't like the constant use of the word "fanservice". It's just too broad. Some recognize it as anything that's not necessary but is there for the fans, some think it's any situation they can think of that way, or any bit of underwear/nudity. This series is very reserved, with just a few "bad" scenes here and there. Even the girl who was so busy sexually harassing the hero never really showed anything. You say "fanservice series" and some people will walk away expecting all sorts of stuff that isn't there. That's why I hold this is low-service, high-suggestion/innuendo. It could still wind up being bad, or great. Time will tell on that.

I'm kind of thinking like Seiryuu .... they've really been fairly restrained except for that one flash kitchen scene.... Hell the poor girl can't even bow properly without blowing male circuits - kind of feel sorry for her.... but then that's the Power of Moe-blob Enhanced.

Ah well..... got a nasty Team Rocket feel with the brother's random use of chopper (they never did explain that). We'll see if they focus on the lame gags or what might be an interesting relationship between a special human who can withstand and a succubus.

Really. Ok so that's weird. Airing the 1st ep one day then the 2nd ep another. Does anybody know why? Is it a good thing or bad?

It's not necessarily either good or bad. The show's airing on 14 different channels, and I guess for some reason the first channel to air the show last week decided to air it on a different day for subsequent weeks (or more like, they aired it early the first week). So now the first airing channel is Teletama, Thursdays at "25:30" (a.k.a. Fridays at 1:30am).

Well finally checked out the sub for this one. Wasn't sure what to expect since a couple blogs weren't flattering. But I enjoyed this first one. The main character is a good guy who has to go through some rough situations. Though I think guarding a succubus who could kill him if he loses control from guys who are drawn to her like crazy, which only gets worse since she has a fear of men....going to be a very busy time for him. Fighting the bear was probably easier .

Had its nice and funny moments and just kept me smiling throughout. Of course the next episode should get interesting with that other girl getting dropped into the mix. While some new series have been alright but haven't really gotten me interested this one has done a good job of it.

Looking back I hadn't noticed he dislocated his shoulder to get away. Damn that's a pretty serious way to get out of a situation.

I actually can't believe that I'm enjoying this show XD I'm supposed to be a fanservice-hater (fanservice for men that is )!!

I think this is the one that made me chuckle the most out of all the other animes this season LOL. There are times where you can't help but laugh at the inexplicable and random situations, and the overall ridiculousness of the characters perhaps... but well, I found it really entertaining XD

As for the room for development, hmm... those who have read Wikipedia or the novels will know a bit of spoilerish info about this.

Spoiler:

that little dream sequence there plays quite some role in the series... and, both Mayu and Reika (the school president / meido) have some childhood past with Ninomiya...

I poked some fun with the first episode summary I made of it, because it's a show that certainly can't be taken seriously. And, I was supposed to make a short and sweet (and sarcastic) post, but failed. =__='''

I'm still not reading the novels at this point... just browsed through the piccies hehe. I find the tender moments between Shungo and Mayu, really sweet. I had another view on Reika as well, after seeing some scenes from the further volumes...

I just love mayu as a character! she is clueless, moe, polite, shy, seductive, horny, possesses a split personality...and i swear i can see two horns and a tail popping out of her. A development episode as expected but that isnt all. Mayu seems to harbor the will to occasionally "phase out into dream land and do totally out of character acts" - One of them being trying to dry hump ninomiya, which didnt impress him at first but even his immunity to her powers wont saving him from her girl-ish charms - and dam if it wasnt for his sister they would have kissed by now

*announcer voice*

"here comes a new challenger!"

Yep we do indeed have a rival (as with all romance stories). what we have here is the oujo sama tsundere who packs a mean slap type and she has the hots for ninomiya - the dude has it really tough to be surrounded by these beauties but find it unable to act XD

Mayu's brother then attempts to stir some drama with a contest between his sister and the new girl (reika) to fight for their man based on cosplay and measuring the size of one's chest. Mayu obviously passed with flying colours

reika on the other hand lacks such moe traits but however make it up with her own dere dere as a tsundere. Seems like she has taken a liking towards ninomiya ever since he saved her a long time ago. A touching moment where they are left alone as to give reika a chance at gaining ninomya (if only she can seduce him that is).

but ninomya completely broke the flow of things using the most unusual method ever! *falls on the floor laughing*

thoughts -

man that was awesome XD

to be honest i didnt expect a rival like reika to be so dam likeable. yes she is a tsundere but i can say that her tsun side packs the same mean punch as her dere side XD looking at her character she displays the generic traits of any tsundere - oujo sama type yet i find her completely facinating. She "loves" ninomya but at the same time finds it hard to express those feelings other than yelling and screaming (but not in an annoying way like most >.>). Definitly a worthy rival for mayu

mayu on the other shows that subconciously seducing men isnt her only ability. As i have said she also displays moments of being out of character. The first case would be to jump onto ninomiya but the second case is more interesting. At first sight she has disliked reika's presence and their first meeting was nothing more than a cat fight using words. Maybe this is a succubus' auto ability to repel any women that gets near ther man?

and caught in the middle of it all...poor ninomiya XD

screen caps-

Spoiler:

Its not what it looks like

oujo sama reika + catfight OOC mayu

err...

notice the empty look in her eyes O.O

shobu!! cosplay -

chest size!

deredere reika

and how the heck did they get into that position

aniki wants some action as well XD

This series is definitly a keeper to fill in the "silly fun but really cute and heart warming gap" in my chest :3

seriously though for those who are expecting something "less fun" might be disappointed

Lucky Ba*****. And defenitly not expect that from Mayu actually taunting Reika that was great. This is defenitly a great series. And fanservice is done really well and were it does not take over the series and let's you enjoy it. And the romance is great Mayu x Ninomiya FTW!!!! but great Reika is a serious contender.

This season's inescapable guilty pleasure. Like Umishou, it seems to be a fanservice show with a good heart. Anyway, I can't possibly ignore an anime that gives Kadowaki Mai the prominent role I've been waiting for for three years. And Sawashiro Miyuki makes a real ojou-sama.

Spoiler for ep2:

But ep2 was a little limp compared to ep1, for me.

Here is a pic of Kadowaki Mai (Mayu). Her eyesight is so bad that she has to wear both contacts and glasses. She uses a panda to symbolize herself. She can draw well, and is a good photographer, as her twoblogs can attest. She recently turned 27. She was Miru in Lemon Angel Project, Souju in the Futakois, Illya in F/SN, Behoimi in PaniPoni, and is Mimi in Kodomo no Jikan.

I was trying to figure out why Reika's voice sounds familiar. I just realized that the VA (forgot her name) did also the voice of Shinku from Rozen Maiden. And can someone tell me what was Mayu was singing that made Reika irritated?

Ghee - i knew it. With my luck it just had to be another damn tsundere with an ego bigger than her house. Can't i get at least one romance show these days without one of these annoying presences >..>

That aside, some interesting stuff from Mayu ... i wonder where her second personality came from ... automated succubus self-defense when someone is trying to move in to 'her territory' ?

Her moving in was more or less expected - something was needed as an additional hindrance for the Mayu x Ninomiya relationship ... our dear tsundere provides such a plot device i suppose. I want to hear what she will have to say about the two sleeping together We all know that it is going to be Mayu x Ninomiya in the end, if the writers decide to bless us with a conclusive end though

Mayu already seems to show some feelings for him ... that look she had at the end when those two were asleep on the couch was a pretty good indicator.

This show is a definite keeper for me. A very enjoyable experience overall, and who can not love the absolute moe-blob that is our local succubus

This season's inescapable guilty pleasure. Like Umishou, it seems to be a fanservice show with a good heart. Anyway, I can't possibly ignore an anime that gives Kadowaki Mai the prominent role I've been waiting for for three years. And Sawashiro Miyuki makes a real ojou-sama.
